“This airport is critically important to King County and the region,” said Dunn. “Congress must act and guarantee that the Renton Municipal Airport and others like it have the needed funding to operate fully and continue contributing to the local economy.”

Dunn joined his comrades, Council member Julia Patterson and King County Sheriff John Urquhart, in writing a letter to Congress stressing the importance of Big Government sponsored airport infrastructure, and its value to the local economy.

Wait…isn’t this a job for local governments? Aren’t they in a better position to understand the local needs? Or, better yet, can’t the Free Market fix this along with everything else it has on it’s To Do list? Surely the sequestration cuts will lead to a booming economy sowing magic beans that sprout into new private sector infrastructure to fill the void left by Shrinking Government, right?

Apparently not. Reagan wants his Big Government funded infrastructure. But don’t count out Reagan inner Teabagger just yet—we have yet to learn how Mr. Dunn wants the Feds to fund the Renton air traffic controllers….

Since I don’t use the Renton Municipal airport, I’m okay with them using the free market to pay for the air craft controllers, i.e., let the lowest bid win. And if they air craft controllers want to leverage their value, capitalist style, they could demand prepayment of bonuses from incoming aircraft.

This is the free market, capitalist system at work. When an aircraft is on final approach, that is a great time to squeeze out some profit. The pilot can either give up his credit card number to guarantee a safe landing, or he can take his chances dodging dumpsters and other obstructions that may find their way onto the runway.

““This airport is critically important to King County and the region,”

Said every politico about every airport that faced loosing air traffic controllers do to budget cuts. Funny how it’s easy to call for cuts, but they bawl like a baby when the cuts actually come.

The same crap’s been said about the Tacoma Narrows Airport. But, honestly, we don’t need the airport and I hope it closes soon. The TNA looses money hand over fist, is noisy, and the land it’s on would be better off being used for light industry and a park.

Well, waddya know, it turns out those IRS agents were just doing their job.

“But a close examination of these groups and others reveals an array of election activities that tax experts and former I.R.S. officials said would provide a legitimate basis for flagging them for closer review.”

My oh my, the DJIA is up 200 points and I’m making another $3,500 of FREE MONEY while sitting here on my furry ass posting on HA, meanwhile bridges are falling down and Republicans are talking about cutting off food stamps to millions of hungry Americans. Capitalism is out of control.

# 15: I never have figured out how a 737 flys out of Renton Airport and lands at Boeing Field. I assume they have to reach minimum altitude in some other direction, then loop around and do their landing approach to Boeing Field. I’ve wanted to ask one of the Boeing pilots, but I haven’t had the opportunity to do so.

Hmm… We can’t raise taxes, and we can’t de-sequestrationize, since that would be something we can’t fool bozo voters into believing isn’t more Republican-sponsored Big Government. Ok, I have an idea that would pass tea-bagger logic: Let’s cut a federal program and use the savings to fund the Renton tower. Let’s cut the freakin’ FAA budget to do it!
